Pros
- Some old time work benefits that are still in place - Nice artwork
Cons
- Monotonous: the job is sitting in the same room for 8 hours with no stimulation - Strict policy from management that bans any stimulation (reading, notebooks, phones) - Expectations from higher management for you not to talk to colleagues, very outdated and the impression that they want gallery wardens from the 50s - If higher management notes an issue, instead of going to you directly they will report you without making you aware of the problem first - Odd power dynamic between upstairs and gallery team members, also odd power structure regarding director and the number 2... - Quite dead end, if you are on gallery team you will most likely never leave (no hope of development) - You are expected to learn about the collection in your free time as there is little training - No more ticket desk or cloakroom meaning the working day really is reduced to sitting for 8 hours
